BREAKING: Today, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), which manages over $714 billion of Canadians’ retirement savings, quietly abandoned its commitment to net-zero by 2050. This is a shocking failure of responsibility from one of the world’s largest public investors.

Removing Ontario's endangered species act poses a threat to our environment that Ontarians haven't faced before. Tell Premier Ford that it's not acceptable to remove protection for species at risk and their habitats.

Stop Bill 5 and the attacks on endangered species
The Government of Ontario must protect species at risk. Once these vulnerable plants and animals are gone, it's too late.

Fact-checking is what we need! CTV's Your Morning bowed to pressure from the Conservatives and dropped a fact-checking segment, but you can get your questions fact-checked here on BlueSky!👍
Over the next three (and a bit) weeks, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and I will be checking the election facts at @nationalobserver.com.
If you see a promise that seems too good to be true, or a claim that doesn't sound right, let us check it out. Find us at [email protected].
